CAE and Bombardier to Expand Business Aviation Training Network

CAE-built full-flight simulator for Challenger 300 business aircraft to be operated by Bombardier at their Montreal, Canada facility

Las Vegas - Bombardier and CAE today announced that they are continuing to expand worldwide training support for business aircraft customers with the addition of a Level D full-flight simulator (FFS) for Challenger 300 aircraft training.

The newly added CAE-built simulator will be located at Bombardier's training centre in Montreal, Canada, and will be deployed in the second half of 2012. This deployment will significantly boost OEM-backed Challenger 300 aircraft pilot training, currently offered at Bombardier's training centre in Dallas, Texas, where the company operates an existing FFSfor Challenger 300 aircraft.

"Bombardier is committed to proactively increasing the number of training opportunities available to its business aircraft customers and ensuring they have access to services in locations that are convenient to their base of operations," said Eric Martel, President, Bombardier Customer Services & Specialized and Amphibious Aircraft.

"Training is all about safety and operational efficiency," said Jeff Roberts, Group President, Civil Simulation Products, Training and Services, CAE. "Our close relationship enables Bombardier and CAE to continuously improve the value of training for aviation professionals wherever they operate."
